Took truck to dealership and they had it 2 days and now say they cant find the leak. Carpet under rear seat wet, storage under seat soaked, when I removed my spare change of clothes in a plastic bag they were soaked and had mold on them. Back wall insulation wet. Body shop manager said to me today YES you have a leak but I have not found it. My wife works at the dealership and they gave her the key to it and said they could not find it and did nothing. She's allergic to mold and I have a 50000$ truck that leaks. Way to go FORD. I hope this gets some attention. HELP me please.

So many different things it could be. The roof gutter under that stupid plastic tab near the back end of the roof, the third brake light, bad door seals/not aligned properly.

 

Wow and your wife works there and that is the customer service you get? WTF. If that was a rental home you could put your rent into an escrow account until they fixed the mold. WTF.

 

All I can suggest is try going through a high power touchless wash and have someone, or yourself watch the back for leaks. I had the third brake light leak on my new/old truck but I could see it leak from the drivers seat when going through a wash.

Do you have a sliding rear window? Are they causing any issues on these new trucks?

 

I had a similar problem with my truck where the front passenger seat floor was getting soaked. After several tries the dealer found the third brake light, on the roof, was was leaking and travelling to the front. I said no way but they replaced the light assembly and have had no leaks since.

 

Just did that , ran truck through carwash and climbed back there laid both seat down and watch the water puddle up just in front of the vent on the back wall. Carpet was soaked again. Took it back. Monday they are removing all the trim, insulation, putting a new third brake light on it and hoping that fix's
it.

 

Well we have had a few days of rain now and spent a hour with back panel removed and found the small vent on the drivers side rear wall every time it rained or wash the truck was leaking and soaking the carpet. Dealership is replacing vent and testing then pulling rear seat and lifting carpet to check for mold. If no mold is found they are going to give a good cleaning , if mold is found then all seats are coming out and all of the carpet is being replaced. They are going to do all this under warranty.
